Fran McCracken earned two victories in two full contests before ALJ Martinez. In Vernon v. Delta Fireside Inn, the ALJ held that claimant, represented by attorneys Richard Gurley and Leslie Castro, failed to prove the compensability of his claim. In Scruggs-Reed v. Wal-Mart, the ALJ found that claimant failed to prove that she sustained a work-related injury or occupational disease at Wal-Mart.
Harvey Flewelling won at hearing and on appeal. In Brinlee v. Imperial Casino Hotel, ALJ Friend credited the opinions of Dr. Douglas Scott over those of Dr. Henry Roth and Dr. Michael Janssen in denying claimant's petition to reopen. In Sandoval v. Gibson's Discount Center, ICAO affirmed ALJ Martinez' denial of claimant's petition to reopen.
Cheryl Martin so successfully cross-examined claimant's treating physician at a deposition in McNichol v. Nobel-Sysco that claimant's attorney agreed to a dismissal of the claim with prejudice.
Richard Bovarnick persuaded ALJ Friend to hold that the claimant in Gerchman v. Wal-Mart was barred from filing a new application for hearing because it was not filed within thirty days of the final admission of liability, despite the fact that an earlier application for hearing had been timely filed and withdrawn.
